Are You Book Enough Challenge 2020, October Theme - Child

Two responses for this theme. The first, Go Outside and PLAY. 



Coming from a large family and growing up in the sixties this was a common refrain in our house.



Made from a repurposed children’s board book, covered with vintage Enid Gilchrist sewing patterns and Paton knitting patterns for children.



These patterns were widely used in the 50’s and 60’s. The additional collage elements of children at play were photocopied from reproduction fabric. I have been collecting/ storing these for many years and decided it was time to use them.

The second, Nappy Bag. Every parent would be familiar with this essential item. This little book is a small scale representation of book that unfolds to make a change mat, complete with a nappy pocket containing wipes, cream,  and a stack of nappies.



The elastic fastening slips off  and the book opens out.



The pocket folds down and the strap holding the nappies in can be folded back and nappies removed.

Papers used in the project were repurposed wrappers from toilet rolls made by Who Gives a Crap.
